Netamo introduced Healthy Home Coach to make sure your home have necessary healthy environment for living. Healthy Home Coach monitor’s basic parameters - air quality level, humidity, temperature and noise. If you even wondered why you have a head ache or why you feel down a little, air quality along with humidity is probably the answer. When these essential features are not monitored and reported, we never know how healthy the environment in our home is.

We spend lots of time at home and want to make sure that the conditions around are healthy and fit our lifestyle. Healthy Home Coach offers advice on how to manage your home environment, in case of danger like high temperature or concentration of CO2 it alerts about the conditions.

Netatmo Healthy Home Coach works via special application which reports about all changes that are happening at home. The best thing it can store the information so you can check what conditions you had few hours ago or few months ago. The design is elegant and stylish, made of aluminum Healthy Home Coach easily compliment any home’s decor. I wish more colors come up for the device in the future.

There are various modes you can choose from for the monitor to track the vitals at home. It depends on having a baby, being asthmatic and other one. You can change the mode and you can see that if you switch from regular setting to asthmatic then the requirements for healthy environment change too. You probably get your “Excellent” changed to “Fair”, what means you need to ventilate the room and pay more attention to air quality.

Healthy Home Coach is very useful for families with babies and toddlers as they cannot balance their temperature, little kids cannot even say about that. Sometimes temperature seems perfect for adults, might be not right for little babies. And Healthy Home Coach lets you know about that.

For kids studying at home or people working from home, Netatmo Healthy Home Coach can be a good indicator if they have healthy environment or need change something for better. Since their work and study require concentration and focus, air quality & noise should be at the appropriate level.

Our grandparents found Netatmo Healthy Home Coach very useful. The seniors usually spend lots of time at home and they are very sensitive to the changes in temperature and humidity as it can cause high blood pressure and overall health. Healthy Home Coach tells them what need to be changed to keep home environment stable.

If you want to monitor all the rooms in the house you need to have Netatmo Healthy Home Coach in every room. It can be pricey since one Coach costs $119.00. It comes with free app and this app can monitor all the rooms.

December is a wonderful month of the year! It is filled with holidays, festivities, gatherings and winter activities. Just before Christmas, only few Saturdays in December, Black Creek Pioneer Village hosts amazing Christmas by Lamplight event. The village invites to experience holiday festivities in the glow of candlelight. Black Creek transforms into 19th century Christmas village with holiday décor, live music and delicious food. Come and see how people celebrated holidays and entertained themselves during the times without TVs, Cable & Netflix.

Last week we had a chance to visit the village and join the Christmas by Lamplight activities. Lots of families joined the event, as there was something for everyone: kids, seniors and adults. We wandered across the village and visited many homes decorated for Christmas. In Fisherville Church we joined The Ambiance Singers and enjoyed holiday music and songs. The performers have really amazing voices and the program is made mostly of Christmas favorites to get you into holiday spirit. Teddy also joined singing Christmas Carols which took place in Half Way House. Music filled the village for the season; you can hear the songs and tunes across the streets. Ready to make a nice moves in Ballroom Dancing or watch a Christmas story, there are Tin Soldier, Rod Puppet Performance or all time favorite The Snow Queen Pantomime!

There are multiple workshops held at the Village. Teddy made a Scherenschnitte Christmas card by cutting papers and arranging symmetric design.
We also had a chance to try various Christmas treats baked at the village. Mincemeat tarts and Roasted Chestnuts made outdoor were our favorites.

And what is the Christmas without Santa. Kids were in line there to talk to this season show maker. He was in Santa’s Cabin to greet families and wish them Happy Holidays. Teddy had a good conversation with Santa asking for a surprise gift as he tried so hard to be a good boy the whole year.

Christmas by Lamplight continues two more Saturdays, December 10 & 17, 2016 from 6:00 p.m.to 9:30 p.m. Do not miss an opportunity to join the magic and enjoy the glow of Christmas as if it was two decades back. The price range is $34.95- $29.95 for for adults, $29.95 - $24.95 for children plus HST, parking is extra.

Do not forget to stop by the Village Gift Shop, there are lots of unique items which make wonderful presents this holidays season. Plus for Lamplight event only, shoppers are offered %13 off of purchases.

If you ever dreamed to sing like a pro then there are a special set called SelfieMic. This is a relatively new set, a combination of selfie stick, microphone and a special recording and karaoke application.

SelfieMic comes as an adjustable selfie stick with karaoke microphone, earpiece and free StarMaker app. The app is easy to use once you install it; it offers various features from recording and sharing via social channels to karaoke and playing your creations.

You need to attach a smartphone and connect to the device. Once you are in, you get 1000 points to use the songs, though there are some free songs you can sing. The app features songs by Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Little Mix, Ed Sheeran and more but you have to use points for them! It appears that Teddy does not know and never heard any free songs the app offers, so we started using our points right away.

The more you sing, more points you get. It is not the best scenario for our boy, as you have to sing around 20 songs to try a new one. Another option is to buy points to use towards the songs you like. Nevertheless, Teddy likes singing, entertaining us with his funny performances. He often does not read the lyrics and sing his own words just to have some fun. I think his elder cousins appreciated SelfieMic much more as it is a great opportunity to show their talents, record voice and make videos.

StarMaker app offers thousands of hit songs and it constantly updates the list. I think SelfieMic set is a nice combination of software and hardware (mic & selfie stick). You can always use them with latest on-line updates via app.

Available in a variety of stores, Toys R Us, Walmart, The Bay, Indigo, Michael’s, London Drugs, Home Hardware, Sears, Staples, Funky Toys, Red Apple and Showcase.

These humorous series are going to keep you entertained while collecting favorite Lego bricks. You meet familiar characters and learn about new ones. The Freemaker Adventures promise to be fun for both kids and adults.

Taking place between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, these new adventures follow a family of scavengers who build and sell starships from battle debris strewn throughout the galaxy.

The Freemakers explore new worlds, meet new and familiar characters and discover the strength of family. Relive all 13 action-packed episodes in LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season One.

I think we live with Star Wars as we can remember that. Stormtroopers and Darth Vader pretty often visit our Community Center and remind that we are all belong to the Universe. Teddy learned about Star Wars without watching any series, five years ago. First encounter with Darth Vader was terrifying, but it was past and now Teddy gladly watches all the releases.

Just on time for holidays we are happy to give away one copy of "LEGO STAR WARS: The Freemaker Adventures” to one our Canadian reader thanks to Walt Disney Studios Canada! The giveaway ends December 20, 2016.

I never realized that a watch can change my life until I received a big, stylish and fancy watch from JORD Wood Watches. I have several pretty watches. They are all tiny, some decorated with gems. From the time my child was born I put everything aside because shine of gems did not fit my messy, sleepless lifestyle, plus dirty diapers and constant cleaning are not what watches designed for. Time passed and I found that I even forgot I have nice watches, the smartphone era changed everything.

I saw various wood watches designs on-line, they look amazing and I often ask if they are really made of wood. Recently I was offered to try one of the beautiful wood watches designed for women. From the variety of JORD Wood Watches I have chosen Frankie series watch. There was something magical in the name Frankie Dark Sandalwood & Smoke. It reminded me Time Itself from Alice Through The Looking Glass movie, giving a feeling that you wear the Time.

Last month I had lots of events and parties, my Frankie Dark Sandalwood & Smoke watch joined Dr. Strange and Fantastic Beasts screenings, Grey Cup party and various outings. Being on time became a habit, not sure why but I give all credits to my JORD Wood Watch. May be it is a large display or Roman numerals, but my watch is always with me and tells my story. Frankie Jord Wood watch is quite lightweight and can be adjusted based on your wrist. I received extra wooden links in my box.

Winter holidays are fast approaching, this time of the year we want to treat people surrounding us with unique and special gifts to show how important they are in our life. Jord Wood Watches make wonderful gift, their luxury design gives people trust and appreciation. It is the best way to show how valuable someone in your life giving them gift of time.
The selection of Jord Wood Watches is incredible. The materials, styles, colors and design can blow your mind. Hand-crafted wood timepieces tell a story. You can spend hours selecting your favorite shade or shape, so many watches to choose from.

Since JORD Watches made of wood, they require proper care and maintenance. Made of natural wood they can be your best friend and supporter for many years.
